Intro:

C B A G F E G

C	           B

If I could walk a straight mile

A			  G		

I could write it down in shorthand

	F  	E

I could show you

G

If you want me to



C		B

And if I had an hourglass

A			  G

I'd save the grains of time I spent with you

F	  E

And that's what I'd do

G

But I remember



F	   E		    G

You always said it could be great

And I knew it could be



Well there's a way you look at things

That no one needs to know but you

And you shout em with me



Like every time the leaves would fall

You'd promise me that they'd be back again

And I believed in you

 

F	   E	   	    G

You always said it could be great

But I hadn't time to waste

F	   E   	 	    D

Now it seems that I've gone too far



C		G

As bright as you are

A#	   	     F

Don't get burned by your lucky star

C		G

Bright as you are

A#		     F

Don't get burned by your lucky star



Written down in hard-bound books

The way things used to be (?)

I'd swear they're all for you



(?)

Mama said shit I don't know what you'll do

As if it's up to you



You always said it could be great

But I hadn't time to waste

Now it seems that I've gone too far



(The rest till the end is C-G-A#-F)



As bright as you are

Don't get burned by your lucky star

Bright as you are

Don't get burned by your lucky star



Your lucky star will burn out

Your lucky star can turn you around

Your lucky star will burn out

Your lucky star can turn you around



Turn you around

Turn you around

Turn you around

Turn you around

F	     G 		C	

They're gonna turn you around

B5            E5              F#5

I called you up all night til mornin' 

B5      E5             C#5         E5  D#5  C#5  D#5

Left my house by noon today, and I saw you standing there 

B5     E5                 F#5

No one spoke, but we both listened 

B5          E5             C#5     E5  D#5  C#5  D#5

Heard every word you didn't say

And the sun shines all around us 

Smells like summer's on the way, and I saw you standing there 

Tell the story of a lifetime 

Tomorrow brings a brand new day

                  F#5              E5         E5/Eb    

Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head 

C#5           B5

  Least for a while



(verse)

You see, the day keeps getting longer 

But my nights seem longer still, and my TV's off the air 

Watching repeats on my ceiling 

Another hour left to kill



(chorus)

Don't worry 'bout today, and the words that you said 

Don't worry 'bout today, shake the world from your head 

Least for a while

(verse)

You changed my face,

        I think I like it better now.

It doesn't matter anyhow, cuz that's the way it is.

You said hello,

        Well where the hell you been?

I said I feel like I've been off to war, and I may never be the same

 again.



(verse)

I made my bed,

        But now I can't sleep at night.

I'm tossin and turnin you know, you know it ain't right.

I'd love to beg,

        See, but I'm just too proud.

And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud.



(chorus)

And when you dream 17,

        I ain't there, so I don't care.

Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,

        And she's the girl right next to me.

        See that girl right next to me.



(verse)

I lie in my bed,

        You're running through my head.

Going over and over and over, the things that you said.

I'm caught in the trap,

        I'll run like hell right back to you.

Cuz it's over with you and you know it means drinking alone.



(chorus)

And when you dream 17,

        I ain't there, so I don't care.

Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,

        And she's the girl right next to me.

        See that girl right next to me.

This day belongs to all of us 

Even still I like with a chill 

That ain't so obvious

(verse)

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights 

And that ain't for all of us 

It's a beautiful sound 

When my life comes crashin down 

That ain't so obvious 



(verse)

It's a beautiful sin and I'm doin' it again 

And that ain't for all of us 

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights 

Ain't that so obvious

(verse)

E5          G5           D5              E5(VII)  C5

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two 

E5         G5            D5                E5(VII)  C5

I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school 

E5         G5               D5              E5(VII)  C5

I might be running, but I'm never running back to you



(bridge - riff 1)

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply 

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie



(verse)

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by 

You've got no power and my situation don't apply 

You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine



(bridge)

And with your sugar-sweetened alibi, there was a truth I never knew 

And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you



(chorus)

G                           D5       E5(VII) C5

String of lies, it's always compromise with you 

G                                D5         E5(VII) C5

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do 

G                           D5             E5(VII) C5

String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you



(bridge)

And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply 

And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie



(solo)

E5-G5-D5-E5(VII)-C5

(4 times)



(chorus)

String of lies, we always compromise for you 

String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do 

String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you 

String of lies, we always compromise for you

Another Second Time Around

by the Goo Goo Dolls

(off Superstar CarWash)



(tabbed by goo@soong.heinous.net)

http://soong.heinous.net/~goo/index.html





G	 D		     E7		 C(add9)

Happy, smilin', cryin' upwards to my past,

G	 	  D		        E7		      C(add9)

I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.

G	    D		    E7		    C(add9)

And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress.

G	     D		       E7		    C(add9)

The funnel holding me down, oh see the cloud, it's never gonna pass.



Break: G-D-E7-C(add9) (2x)

(bass in here, see my bass tab for the cool riff)



G5	    D5		    E5		C5

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,

G5	    D5		 E5			C5

Gray-like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.

G5	  D5			  E5			 C5

All our postcards full of things I won't forget.

G	       D		       E7		       C(add9)

And now it's coming down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.



G	  D		  E7			  C(add9)

Another second time around, I've been runnin' from ya

G	  D		    E7	C(add9)

Another second time around.

G	  D			 E7			C(add9)

Another second, one more second time, I waited for ya,

G	  D		    E7	C(add9)

Another second time around.



D5	   C5

Couldn't help myself,

  D5			C5		   D5

I felt like everything was gonna pass.

 		C5

It was an awkward time,

  D5				C5

I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.



(Solo like only Johnny Rzeznik does...)



G5	D5		 E5		    C5

And I didn't know exactly what to say,

G5	    D5		    E5	   D5

About the things you saw me do my evil way.

(*** add riff at bottom **)

G5	     D5		 E5			C5

And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed.

G	       D		    E7		 C(add9)

Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.



G	  D		  E7			  C(add9)

Another second time around, I've been runnin' from ya

G	  D		    E7	C(add9)

Another second time around.

G	  D			 E7			C(add9)

Another second, one more second time, I waited for ya,

G	  D		    E7	C(add9)

Another second time around.

G	  D		    E7	C(add9)

Another second time around.

G	  D		    E7	C(add9)

Another second time around.

End on G

D5        G5

I look outside my window 

B5             A5           D5

Everything was blanketed in white 

              G5

The neighbors pushing cars out 

B5             A5              D5

From snow that fell on us last night 

        G5

Started thinking 'bout 

    B5                A5              D5

The things we used to do when we were young 

          G5

Back when things were simple 

    B5             A5

And getting up was fun



(chorus)

           G5  A5                   G5

I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there 

A5          G5   A5              G5     A5

I'm already there, and I'm ready there



(verse)

Turn around and face the clock 

I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by 

I'm still growing up 

My friends are growing old before my eyes 

Count the stars above 

Wonder when the heavens will subside 

Knowing our two worlds 

Will someday just collide



(chorus)

I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there. 

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

(verse)

Just a boy who's young at heart 

His smile was a bit like yours today 

Had a wife, a kid, some strife 

Never had to go astray 

Happiness evolved 

Life was in full swing 

At 17, all the things he wanted 

Were things he'd never seen



(chorus)

It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there 

I'm already there, and I'm ready there

   You said      that it's all been said before 

F#5                     E5

Now I find that there's something I don't know



(verse)

And I hate your attitude 

I ain't scared at all 

'Cause it don't matter what you do 

And I'll turn around to see the truth 

You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down 

And it's all on you



(bridge)

And I didn't get those things 

Things that you can't grow 

You say that it's all my fault 

And I don't need to know



(chorus)

Tell me something I don't know 

And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me 

You said that it's all been said before 

Now I find that there's something I don't know



(solo)

G#5-B5-F#5-E5 (2x)



E5         F#5

And I know  

        E5

I don't know 

(Rock and roll)  F#5

E5             F#5

And I say that 

E5

If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear 

         F#5

And your heart's full of hate 

'Cause your mind's full of fear 



(riff)

Let it go



(riff)

So far away 

So far away 

So far away 

Oh so far away 

So far away 

So far away
